Merisiel nods to herself. Carver's line is as good as any. Mentally, she prepares to attack the man if necessary. Out loud, she helps Carver out by saying, "Don't know why the need the lot of us, but people higher up are getting nervous."

The man is startled and puts his hand on his sword grip. He takes a moment to digest what Carver says. Then he grins. "You got any credentials? Never seen you round here before."

Merisiel thinks the guard probably isn't buying it, but that it's still worth trying. Even if he doesn't trust them, but maybe they get him to let something slip.
"Oh, come on," she says, "who else would know about this?"

The man looks you over. "Oh well, come in." He knocks on the door loudly, and it opens, revealing two more men, scruffy-looking thugs. "We've got visitors..." he winks at them "from the bath house." The other men are surprised and grab their weapons (axe and mace) and look at you grimly.

"Oh, well, it was worth a try," says Merisiel, drawing her rapier. "Now then, I don't know that you'll listen to this either, but I recommend you surrender to us while you can. We took out a horde of zombies--and you've ruined the relaxing vacation we were taking. You really don't want to mess with us." As she says this, she gestures menacingly with her rapier.

Fumbus draws his dogslicer just in case it ends up being useful, the form of the blade being rather strange and off-putting. His main hand draws out one of his potions, which he casually tosses into the air and catches again. "Wanting to tangle with an alchemist, eh? What shall you get for your troubles, eh? Fire? Acid? Lightning? So many choices."

Re: A well-deserved rest
Carver thought it was going alright, "They sent... then the blades come out, he draws his own cleaver." He points it at the men, adding to the intimidation factor. "You ever heard of the Butcher? That's me, drop'em and you live, put up a fight and you'll only wish you were dead!"

First fight round 0
Merisiel makes the man nervous at the mention of zombies, and he hesitates. One of the others calls out, into the door opening. "Oi, boys, git up, we got visitors! Git up ya lousy scum!"
Merisiel acts quickest...
